Episode 97: Manfred Weber, EPP EU presidential candidate

Episode 97: Manfred Weber, EPP EU presidential candidate

This week it's a short episode: just a 20-minute interview with Manfred Weber, the person in pole position to succeed Jean-Claude Juncker as European Commission president later this year. The interview was conducted by POLITICO's Ryan Heath and Nazan Gökdemir, a journalist from the Franco-German TV station ARTE, part of a series of interviews with six presidential candidates. You can binge-watch all the interviews on politico.eu. We focus on Weber this week, because next week's podcast will be highlights of the Maastricht EU presidential debate, featuring all the candidates and parties except Oriol Junqueras (who is in in pre-trial detention in Spain) and Weber, who is skipping the debate to attend a celebration of Theo Waigel, his fellow Bavarian politician and a political mentor. Before the interview Ryan speaks to Andrew Gray, POLITICO's EU editor, about Weber's side of the story. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
